Daddy/Daughter/Auntie Day in Boston

We couldn't let Regan leave without a proper tour of Boston, so on Saturday Taber and Teya took her down to Beantown to show her the city. (Brinley and I stayed behind because we both were in desperate need of nap that day ; )

They parked at the Boston Common and decided to check out the freedom trail. Early on Teya spotted a balloon man and scored a hot pink balloon flower. From the pictures I would say it was one of the highlights of her day.


The Freedom Trail involves a lot of walking but sounds like Teya handled it like a champ.

Of course Taber did bring the stroller just in case, and I think he was glad he did.

They really got to get a good feel of the city. From street dancers:

To the farmers market,


And all the cool historical landmarks and neat architecture in between.

I thought this was a cool picture/sculpture of Robert Shaw (with Teya and flower balloon perched beneath)

More cool pics from their day

The mac and cheese Statue ( if you've ever seen Brinley's Mac and Cheese dance you know why they HAD to take a picture here!)

Regan in front of Paul Revere's House

After a good amount of walking they ended up in the North End where they grabbed some Italian food and hit up Mike's Pastry for Cannoli's. Teya had a blast with her Daddy and Auntie.

And was pretty wiped out by the end of the day, which is always a good sign that the trip was a success : )

Wow I usually just think of all the sports teams when I think of Boston, I forgot that Boston had so much history. I love that Teya passed out by the end. Fun day

I love how many pictures that flower is in! You can tell she definitely loved having that thing! Glad they got to have a fun day, and glad that you got to have a nap. ;)

So fun! Love the Mac-statue! Brooklyn would get a kick out of that!

Fond memories of the Freedom Trail. We have to get out there to see you guys!!! Where in the world is that Mac and Cheese thing?

I know I always say this, but your posts about Boston always make me miss it. That was one of mine and Daniel's favorite trips. That Freedom Trail is long, though - I can see why Teya was worn out by the end. And yeah, wherein the world is the Mac and Cheese statue? I had no idea that thing existed. My kids would love that statue
